Description

This report provides an overview of the evaluation of KEMRI Wellcome Trust Research Programme (KWTRP) Community and Public Engagement (CPE) strategy between 2016 and 2021. The work was funded through a Wellcome Provision for Public Engagement (PPE) and co-led by Noni Mumba, Dr. Alun Davies, and Cynthia Mauncho.

Our vision for the work was:
To strengthen the science and ethics of health research in low-to-middle income settings through fostering effective, contemporary, and responsive engagement between KWTRP staff and diverse public stakeholders, and through sharing our experiences (inter)nationally.

To realise our vision, we engaged large and diverse audiences with a range of public engagement activities comprising live radio programmes, magnet theatre outreaches, school and university engagement, public meetings and key education and health stakeholders and policy makers. We have aimed at a balance of ‘wide’ engagement activities, aimed at raising public awareness and listening to public views about research, with ‘deeper’ long-term engagement with smaller groups. The latter has offered opportunities to draw from diverse youth, community, and stakeholder insights to enhance and improve our research.

Through publishing accounts of our engagement in peer-reviewed publications we have aimed at contributing to the growing literature, debates, and practice in engagement globally.
